- Seanad: Assisted Decision-Making (Capacity) (Amendment) Bill 2022: Report Stage (29 Nov 2022)
Eileen Flynn: It is appalling that there is discriminatory language in a Bill in 2022. Why is legislation that has discriminatory words in it being rushed through? We are not in agreement that the Bill is ideal. It is not listening to disabled people. Why is the Minister seeking to pass it through the House today?

- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Eileen Flynn: I refer to Ms McAlea. For the past 15 years, I have seen pilot programmes rolled out, some of which work and are very effective, but they do not get the support from the Government or the funding, and it is literally a waste of time. The pilot projects we are seeing today work. What is unique for me is that this is the first time I have heard that young people, such as those from ethnic...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Eileen Flynn: Brilliant. As regards St. Patrick's Mental Health Services, we know that more children under the age of 13 are being diagnosed with mental health disorders. Given that it is so important for diagnosis to be made at an early age, how should we address the waiting lists? It is probably a very wide question. How does Mr. Gilligan think we can do that for young students coming through the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Eileen Flynn: A general point is that we are talking a lot about parents but, unfortunately, not every student has both parents with them. Some children are in foster care and so on. Perhaps the language could be looked at as well. Those are my questions for the moment. Obviously, mental health is all around us and it is being spoken about more. Exams are still an issue, however. As a committee, we...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Skills: Mental Health Supports in Schools and Tertiary Education: Discussion (29 Nov 2022)
Eileen Flynn: Is culturally appropriate training with communities such as LGBTQI+, refugees or Travellers being done? Are the various bodies reaching out to organisations such as the National Traveller Mental Health Network and the Traveller Counselling Service? It would be interesting to meet communities to find out where they are at with the training.

- Seanad: Public Order and Safe Streets: Statements (23 Nov 2022)
Eileen Flynn: I thank the Cathaoirleach Gníomhach for letting me in. Over the past week, I have been listening to discussion about what has been going on in Ballyfermot. It is not just for the past week. I was born and reared on a halting site in Ballyfermot and I live and breathe in the community.For the past four years, I have been living in Donegal. We tend to blame and label young people from...

We send the solidarity of the House, but I send it also as a person who was born and reared in Ballyfermot.We have to understand that not every single person in that community is a bad person. That is my message today. While we stand in...
